The Digimon franchise is getting a new entry on 3DS in Japan, and Bandai Namco has provided some more details by opening their official site. The game bases itself (logically) around the fact that, with smartphone apps becoming very popular in the world, new Digimon have come into existence. These special Digimon, called Appmon (short for Appli Monsters), are the basis of the game. Players will build decks around Appmon, which can then grow, fight, and link with other Appmon. New Appmon can also be acquired via QR code. Furthermore, Appmon can be combined via a process called Appfusion to create new Appmon (for example, the website shows that fusing Gacchimon and Navimon will create Dogacchimon).

Though the game is due out on the Japanese eShop this fall, neither a localized release nor a retail release have been announced or dated.

You can also view some screenshots from the official site below.

Through publisher FuRyu, a new Beyblade game is on the way to 3DS. Beyblade Burst will be released in Japan on November 10 for 5,780 yen. An official teaser site is located here.

Beyblade Burst is based on the anime and comic of the same name. According to an Amazon Japan listing, it follows the plot of the show since you encounter and battle the same characters. There are over 25 characters from the anime, six of which are playable.

Battles probably play out like the other games. You can move your Beyblade around and unleash flashy special attacks. When you’re not battling, Beyblade Burst lets you explore the city and challenge other Bladers.

Ultimately, the goal is to collect parts and become the strongest Blader. You can customize your Beyblade with different parts – apparently there are 3,000 possible combinations, stretching to 10,000 if you include different colors. You’ll also be able to battle others locally, and a “gacha” StreetPass mode will be included.

The very first trailer for One Piece: Great Pirate Colosseum is now online. Get a look at the game in motion below.

Nintendo has shared the Japanese Metroid Prime: Federation Force boxart, as we’ve attached above. The game’s Japanese website is also now open here. We’ve rounded up some of the different clips in the video below.

Story of Seasons is known for its strong ties to handhelds. In the future though, perhaps it could migrate to consoles. Producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto is aware of interest in North America in having it happen, and if fans continue to express interest, the developers may “start being more concerned about that.”

Hashimoto said in a recent interview:

So first of all, we get more of the North American fans’ voices that they want this game to go to this console. If we get a lot more feedback like that, maybe we will start being more concerned about that. We choose the platform depending on the number of users on that console. We have younger generations of fans like kids playing Story of Seasons. Kids like to have a handheld system, so we tend to focus on that userbase.

The latest game in the series, Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns hits the 3DS next year.

The Metroid Prime: Federation Force updates continue, as we now have a 10-minute Japanese introduction for the game. See it below.

It was clear that Metroid Prime: Federation Force would have some sort of amiibo support thanks to the game’s boxart. Nintendo has now shared first details about what’s actually included.

In Metroid Prime: Federation Force, you can scan different amiibo to add a paint job to your Mech in Blast Ball matches. You can see what Mario and Bowser bring to the table in this post.

Samus and Zero Suit Samus also have a specific use. You can tape either of the two for “helpful in-game upgrades.”

Here’s a new Japanese video showing off Samus and Zero Suit Samus amiibo support in Federation Force:
